I've run a port scan on my iMac, which has the built in firewall running, and it lists 10 ports as being open. Some I recognise such as QTSS, AFP, Websharing, Windows sharing e.t.c but some I do not. Does anyone know of a useful link to help identify some of the open ports?

The ports in question are: 5902, 7070, 8000, 8001.

Thanks
